Sean O'TooleGUEST
So they thought they could get rid of Teddy Roosevelt, but made him the vice president.
Sean O'TooleGUEST
And he was actually just north of my hometown when he learned that the president had been shot up in Houston, Lake George, New York.
Sean O'TooleGUEST
Took the train all the way back to, I think, to Buffalo to learn that it was Grover Cleveland.
Sean O'TooleGUEST
I should know this better, but the president was shot and then Teddy became president.
Ray BohaczHOST
I said, you found one? Yeah.
Ray BohaczHOST
He said, it's up, where the heck was it? Up near Lake George, New York, which is pretty far from here.
Ray BohaczHOST
I said, oh.
Ray BohaczHOST
He said, well, are you willing to go make a swap on it or go get it or what do you want to do? So he says, well, we would like to do a swap, but let me see if the guy wants anything we have to swap.
Ray BohaczHOST
He didn't want to do anything with it.
Ray BohaczHOST
He said, I want that car because I could sell it easily up here.
Ray BohaczHOST
So he said, so the other dealer up in Lake George, New York says to him, well, I'll only do a swap.
Ray BohaczHOST
if you could swap it for this vehicle.
Frank ShawGUEST
So I like, yeah.
Frank ShawGUEST
So this fall I'm really looking forward to, you know, there's an area down by me, you know, kind of, you know, so I don't want to spot burn obviously, but you know, Chester town, Lake George, you know, there's a lot of walking to be done there, screwing leg.
Frank ShawGUEST
You just head off and hunt for a while, find a place to sleep up.
Frank ShawGUEST
And if you're in a country where there's a buck working, you spend some time there, and if not, you just wander around and continue walking.
Katie KleinGUEST
We bought an amazing house for a fraction of the price.
Katie KleinGUEST
three hours north near Lake George in upstate New York, a place that's really sentimentally meaningful to us.
Katie KleinGUEST
And this whole long preamble is to essentially say that with my hotel background, I thought, well, maybe if we put it on Airbnb and Vrbo, maybe we can offset some of our costs.
Katie KleinGUEST
And as you both and your listeners well know, not only did we cover all of our costs but we were actually turning a profit off of it so a year later we did it again a year later we did it again and now we own three properties in three years kind of crazy and i had this aha moment after we set up the second property and i saw it start to work because along the way i had so many people especially people in my family and in my life saying like what are you doing you're going to own two places and you're not going to live in any of them you're throwing away your money on rent And I started to really question myself, like, am I crazy? Is everyone else seeing something that I'm not? And like, this is actually foolish.

Jason MuthHOST
You know, you talk to those folks and they call you, they email you and they say, what? Like, what is that first message like?
Katie KleinGUEST
Excellent, excellent point.
Katie KleinGUEST
So that was really what I identified because if we back up when I bought, when my husband and I bought that place in Lake George, we weren't like, we have stumbled on the world's best investment strategy.
Katie KleinGUEST
Not at all.
Dave MartinHOST
Usually I say, what's your favorite place in your city? Oh,
Leslie ReynoldsGUEST
what's my favorite place? My favorite place is probably Lake George, New York.
Leslie ReynoldsGUEST
Saratoga, New York or Lake George, New York.
Dave MartinHOST
How do you do with the horse track?
Leslie ReynoldsGUEST
I did much better when I was younger.
Katie KleinHOST
And if they are unhappy with the fact that you are a short-term rental, you're going to have to deal with their opinions about it.
Katie KleinHOST
And so I do think those more dense places, you're just, you have more X factors versus like our place in Lake George, we have six and a half acres.
Katie KleinHOST
You can't even see our neighbors from the property.
Katie KleinHOST
It just kind of mitigates that risk from the beginning.
Katie KleinHOST
That's when Airbnb canceled every booking, that's when like everyone was just grounded to a halt stay in place.
Katie KleinHOST
If you were able to get through those first two to three months, then it went crazy.
Katie KleinHOST
You had so much demand, you had huge occupancy, huge rates, That actually ended up being a really golden time, particularly if I think about properties like your Wissota House on the lake or mine in Lake George.
Katie KleinHOST
Like those are the type of places people are going to want to escape to.
JaneHOST
And it's very popular.
JaneHOST
thing to do if you're on the hunt and then the Caldwell Cemetery is actually Lake George Village was known as Caldwell for many many years and then as it became a big resort destination it was informally known as Lake George but they never actually changed the name from Caldwell to Lake George until like the early 1960s which is a little piece of trivia for you
SteveHOST
oh I didn't realize it was that late
JaneHOST
Yeah.
JaneHOST
So you'll see like the libraries called the Caldwell Library, one of our favorite places for a steak and a martini.
JaneHOST
The Caldwell House is in Lake George too, but you'll see that name around Lake George Village and that's why.
JaneHOST
But I think one of the biggest sources of spirit activity, if you will, comes from Fort William Henry and the Lake George Battlefield.
JaneHOST
So, Stephen, I know you know this, but Fort William Henry, they saw a lot of activity there and was active during the French and Indian War.
Rob CarsonHOST
Oh, all right.
Rob CarsonHOST
Where are you going? Are you going to where in particular? Lake George.
Rob CarsonHOST
Lake George, lovely, lovely.
Rob CarsonHOST
Did you, well, I want you to be careful because there are sex-crazed deer all over the road looking for sex.
Rob CarsonHOST
New Jersey drivers, environmental officials warn lustful deer are seeking sex.
TylerHOST
Well, these are trained.
TylerHOST
Is this the amusement park in Lake George I read about that had the act? There you go.
TylerHOST
It might be because those look like they know what they're doing.
TylerHOST
Excuse me.
TylerHOST
just going.
TylerHOST
You don't want to torture the animal.
TylerHOST
I don't like the Lake George one.
TylerHOST
No, put a woman on there.
TonyHOST
Sorry, St. George.
TonyHOST
Lake George.
TonyHOST
which is up in New York, and that looks really pretty.
AustinHOST
Yeah.
AustinHOST
Yeah.
AustinHOST
But, I mean, I don't remember when the Lake George one is, but New York does not have the best track record when it comes to weather, at least when they plan these races, so we'll see.
AustinHOST
Yeah.
AustinHOST
But, yeah, I mean, it's great.
